Though, probably similar. Thanks for the report. Yes, the nature of the problem is similar but here we don't hit standard filesystem write path where a signal test is. I'll send a fix which fixes the issue for me shortly. BTW, this test actually doesn't hang for me but rather burns CPU all the time and thus causes also softlockups / RCU stalls. I'll send a fix for that as well.
